 * I have tried to install offline wordpress using [http://www.microsoft.com/web/gallery/wordpress.aspx](http://www.microsoft.com/web/gallery/wordpress.aspx)
   wordpress installation page. I have launched wordpress.exe after that it started
   to install necessary programs. Except MySQL and WordPress itself all programs
   successfully installed. While installing MySQL there is error saying that the
   password for the root user is not acceptable or not allowing to connect. My password
   for the root user was also root. Please help me to finish installation.

 * I have installed MySQL downloading itself. But WordPress.exe can not be installed.
   While installing there is the same error saying that the password for the root
   user is not acceptable or not allowing to connect. My password for the root user
   was also root. Please help me to finish installation.
